Cozy View (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

Hi, my inspiration was to create a cozy mood from the inside looking out, I tried creating this contrast between the warmth from the inside and the cold and darkness from the outside. This was also my chance to experiment with colors and composition, which was challenging for me, there's probably a lot that can be improved xP but this is what I ended up with.

Blockout:


Wireframe:



Render:
I had to do the lines for the glass-candle inside photoshop.

I love the cartoon look, it's also different from other entry's because of that.

Well done with the scene setup, looks cozy aand warm with the candles, bit of a mystery feeling on what those papers are, and the cold snow outside which makes you glad that your looking out.

Nicely done
Best of luck with your entry

Yes, overall render style looks good.
Could you try with less background blur and looking at your first wireframe image, I see a lot of detail, so why not make use of the whole scene
instead of just limiting yourself to narrowed down camera vision. This would make your scene even more detailed,  or a whole lot interesting with different subjects having a basis for a theme. Maybe have a go by adding other subjects with less upscaled simplicity or minimalism. Sorry if I added this comment at the end , as I thought, I might contribute in some way. Candle lights could be made bigger to have more volume, they are the whole essence of the scene, which gives you that cozy ambience as opposed to the cold outside. Please don't take it harsh. After all, it's your idea and image. I'm just stating my own vision imho I agree with Cosmic's basis of your grasp of the cartoon touch and of being unique. 
Good luck and a Happy New Year, friend.
